Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a technique for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE). The UE implements the technique to select a number of component carriers (CCs) in both a first frequency range and a second frequency range. The UE determines a schedule for performing search and measurement in the selected number of CCs. The UE performs search and measurement in the selected CCs according to the determined schedule.
Claims26
A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- selecting a number of component carriers (CCs) in both a first frequency range and a second frequency range, wherein the number of CCs corresponds to a number of available narrow band (NB) radio frequency (RF) chains of the UE and are selected based on a value of a timer maintained for each CC of the first frequency range;
- determining, based on the timer maintained for each CC of the first frequency range, a schedule for performing search and measurement in the selected number of CCs;
- and
- performing search and measurement in the selected CCs according to the determined schedule.
An apparatus for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- at least one processor and a memory configured to:
- select a number of component carriers (CCs) in both a first frequency range and a second frequency range, wherein the number of CCs corresponds to a number of available narrow band (NB) radio frequency (RF) chains of the UE and are selected based on a value of a timer maintained for each CC of the first frequency range;
- determine, based on the timer maintained for each CC of the first frequency range, a schedule for performing search and measurement in the selected number of CCs;
- and
- perform search and measurement in the selected CCs according to the determined schedule.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable code thereon for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- code for selecting a number of component carriers (CCs) in both a first frequency range and a second frequency range, wherein the number of CCs corresponds to a number of available narrow band (NB) radio frequency (RF) chains of the UE and are selected based on a value of a timer maintained for each CC of the first frequency range;
- code for determining, based on the timer maintained for each CC of the first frequency range, a schedule for performing search and measurement in the selected number of CCs;
- and
- code for performing search and measurement in the selected CCs according to the determined schedule.
An apparatus for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for selecting a number of component carriers (CCs) in both a first frequency range and a second frequency range, wherein the number of CCs corresponds to a number of available narrow band (NB) radio frequency (RF) chains of the UE and are selected based on a value of a timer maintained for each CC of the first frequency range;
- means for determining, based on the timer maintained for each CC of the first frequency range, a schedule for performing search and measurement in the selected number of CCs;
- and
- means for performing search and measurement in the selected CCs according to the determined schedule.
